I can't find any sense at that issue: I can't understand what's the reason that make your computer turn off in a compilation.
Well... I'm afraid of temperature. I hope that's not the reason, but is the first thing that came to my mind. Maybe in your laptop (I've an Amilo Fujitsu Siemens, and when compiling OO or KDE it is really hot), when it reachs some temperature it turns off because of security reasons. I cannot find any other reason. Bye, Rafael Fernández López. El Domingo, 11 de Diciembre de 2005 11:42, C.
